Increased rewards for scalps, trinket cost increase.

All,

Given how the bountyhunter was a happy accident that happened to address some concerns we had* for raising scalp awards, a similar mob has been implemented. It is a slightly different version of the tactician's clerk, who will take scalps from all races. You may find him in the following locations:
  • Four Kings
  • Stronghold tunnels
  • Tanchico
This means that for Lightside, if you want quick rewards, you can use the existing tactician's clerk in Fal Dara. However, if you want the bonus qps (old scalp rewards, 3/5/7 for bit/war scalp/ head), then you will have to find your way to one of the newly implemented clerks. Since LS has to make a bit of a trek, the clerks that are near Darkside and Seanchan territories have also not been placed at their base of operations.

*One of the concerns was that if we made people move to their home base for 3/5/7 rewards, the Lancers would have a huge advantage over the rest of the game. By making everyone move for the bonus qps, this is avoided.

However, when scalp rewards were lowered in the past, the cost of issuing trinkets also went down by 2 qps. We're reverting that, so a rank 1 trinket will again be 3 qps to issue and a rank 5 trinket will be 5 qps to issue. This is a rather large undertaking, so that will happen in the near future.

Additionally, the broker rewards for Wisdoms and Illuminators will also be adjusted upwards, so they will be in line with the new trinket issuing costs.

Enjoy!
